Simply Thankful

It amazes me and breaks my heart how many people have so much in life, but are unhappy or disatisfied with what they have. Wake up people! Life is short and a rare blessing! Enjoy what God has given u and be thankful!  

Today Im simply thankful for my life and all those in it!

I work out

Today, Im thankful for the opportunity and ability to be able to work out. 

It cracks me up how "fat" or "large" u feel in high school, usually when u are athletic and fit, and now ud just pove to have that body again! 

I may have arthritic knees, but I can at least still do some working out. Today included a mild run! Felt great after. 

Playing catch up

Once again playing catch up. 😉

Back from ohio safely, good trip. Below are a few fun pics frim jonathan and katies house & of mr finley. 

We had a nice relaxing time and caught up on alot of sleep. Now im bk to the work like crazy and poor ben is sick. 

Today Im thankful for a day off!  And the opprotunity to finally hopefully get this house unpacked. Im also stoked mom and dad r coming into town today -- pray for safe flights! 

To all my "sisters"

Today Im thankful for all of my "sisters" in my life. 

I use the word "sisters" in quotations, cuz to me its a term that fits many people in my life.  To me a sister is one with whom u love and whom luv u uncondtionally -- all quriks included -- one whom u can laugh til u pee ur pants with, one whom u fight with but get over it just as fast, one whom u can be apart from for a long time & pick up like no time has ever passed and one who isnt afraid to be the crazy person next to u rocking out just as hard to nsync and beiber! 

 Im extremely blessed to have two amazing sisters that I luv to the moon and back. We all know that Im a bit crazy at times, but these to get me and still luv me to the moon and back -- at least I thinks so. 

I am also blessed to have bunches of other "sisters" in my life -- in the form of life long friends, high school friends, sis in laws and in newer friends. Im soooo very thankful for all of u and for all of the many roles u play in my life.  

It amazes me the amount of love and support I have in my life, with which I am so thankful for! 

Ohio bound

I got relieved from wk at 2 am by megs, packed, slept a lil and on way to Denver. We r heading to see bens fam in ohio. Well be at his parents casa til sun, then seeing Jon, Katie & mr Fin sun thru wed!

Today, Im thankful for the chance to see fam and friends. Weve been travelin alot since bens been off week, Im exhausted but oh so thankful. 

"Bob" aka megan

Today, Im thankful for my "bob" aka megan! 

Ive known meg for a couple of years now but have really gotten to know he well over the last seven months or so. She has quickly become a very close friend and a lil sis. 

Im very thankful for the ease of our relationship and the memories we have quickly made. Were both total dorks and just fit with one another. 

Best said by bob..."If I was snooki, she'd be my Jwow!" Luvs u. 

Health and Happiness

Today, Im thankful for my health and for being able to physically do all I do. Of course I wish that I was thinner, ran faster & longer distances and so on -- who doesnt. But today, I am sooooo thankful for all that I am able to do. Im also thankful for my health and that of those close to me. 

Opps day late...

Perfect, simple days

Today had to say bye to nani and pappa. Then mom and I attempted go workout, missed our class and went outlet stores instead. I ended up with fun pair of shoes and bright pants. Def new for me but fun. 

Then lunch with momma, shower and Dalhber time!  I luv how we r apart so often but flow so normal like we havent missed a beat! Evening of costco, supper, coloring, matching socks and shake & fries from in n out. Almost felt like I lived near bye...then reality hit. Maybe some day 😉. 

Then at padres' casa, more snacks and tv vegging. 

Today, Im thankful for wayyyy tooo much food to eat, for the cycling class I hope to burn lotsss of calories at tom, for the abiliy to have "normal time" with friends & fam and for lil answered prayers -- big ones r great too, but sometimes the lil ones r just what u need. Today was a perfect, simple day.

Tri tip and bras kinda day.

Hello nov 3!  First of all Happy Happy Birthday Katie Hamic! Miss u bunches! Cant believe weve been friends for soooo long! I hope your day is filled with bunches of love and laughter -- and u figured out how to get the lid off the pan! 😉

Today started off with mom waking me up -- guess I needed some sleep. While sitting on the couch eating breakfast, somehow we got on the topic of bras and nani and I needing a new one. Which then led to nani giving us a goofy show of her wearig my brazere in top of her clothes. 

Shortly after that we headed to the mall to shop for a lil bit. Needless to say one if the most entertaining shoping trips ever! Starting to think my goofiness is genetic! 

Mom and I made supper...tri tip, roasted brussell sprouts & roasted tators and sweet tators. Sooo full!!! 

Today Im thankful for another year of life for a dear friend. Im also thankful for silly dances while trying on bras and simple days full of love and laughter.
